Hamilton Reservoir is a reservoir in Utah, near Sevier County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Hamilton Reservoir is a reservoir in Sevier County, Utah and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 12.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 10.3 acre-feet.
Hamilton Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Hamilton Reservoir include Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Hamilton Reservoir by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Brook Trout, and Tiger Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; work each small drop before going deeper.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; check a protected pocket, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; check a protected pocket, then use the same depth on the next similar feature.
a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; fish one point at two depths, then look for a second bite before leaving.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; check the coolest inflow, then separate open water from cover.
